Semi related question: In Phil's book he talked about guys like Chickie didn't understand that it all went through NY and you had to have NY with you. How could guys in Philly not understand that, especially after Tony Bananas? And did that Genovese dbl cross of Tony Bananas not give any pause to Scarfo or was his bond with Manna that strong?
Yet another insight: the Westside had an iron grip on Philly and signed off on multiples murders until you got to Scarfo in control. Why did Joey and his guys not give a shit about the Gambinos?
I often wondered the same thing about the older guy's,like Sindone,Casella etc..didnt they see the writing on the wall ,let alone just 2 b involved,they should have known the protocol..maybe these older fellas only knew how 2 count..Mooks.
